Derek Jeter didn’t consider the New York Yankees “savages” back in his day.
As baseball fans can recall, current Yanks manager and Jeter’s former teammate, Aaron Boone, dominated headlines and inspired t-shirt slogans in July when he went on an expletive-filled rant, telling a young umpire, telling him, “Our guys are f—ing savages in the box.”
But the Miami Marlins CEO says things were different when he was wearing pinstripes.
“You know what I’ll be honest with you I haven’t been able to watch as much because obviously, I have my hands full down in Miami but I don’t know if we called ourselves savages,” Jeter, 45, told Page Six at his 23rd annual Turn 2 Foundation dinner at the Cipriani Wall Street on Monday night.
